Not delusional, I fully agree. Some people are homers, some people are pessimistic and a smaller amount are level headed in the middle. I'm extremely pessimistic about our future after the offseason and the implications of this next off season. If the Brooklyn/Mavs/Wolves picks aren't gold, we're looking at eight years or more before a real chance at our 18th championship. We aren't the better team nor are we even near your level, imo. Indeed, much of the fanbase has been delusional for some time as well, but most guys on here know what's up even if they don't say it outright.
Don't really understand why people are latching onto that one comment, saying they dislike it, and continuing to bring it up. Its just my opinion/prediction at this point in the season. It doesn't affect your season in any way.
Jefferson's defense was no where near this good in Dallas, improviser, but we can agree to disagree. It doesn't really matter does it? He's playing well for your team now and I was emphasizing that.
You guys seem angry about a good win? I don't understand.improvisor wrote:I will also add most teams would love to start our 3rd string pg
PG depth is definitely solid as ****. Most def. Meant more overall, but maybe let's drop that subject as I accidentally offended some people (I think?).
Who are you aiming for in the draft with the Nets pick? Simmons?
I'm a basketball junkie who unfortunately hates College basketball (the games are undeniably awful and I don't care about March Madness betting), so I only have seen the clips online and highlights from him, but he looks pretty incredible. No jumpshot at all and no real consistent form in his shot, which is necessary to make it in this league, but barring anything crazy happening, he looks to be the consensus number one pick and my pick as well. Dude is a **** beast.
However, Dragan intrigues me greatly, I think he may end up the best player from that draft if Simmons cannot adjust or develop a shot, but it would be a catastrophic failure leading to the firing of a GM (Danny in our case) and changes in an org if Dragan doesn't pan out or is a bust, plus he probably wouldn't be able to come over immediately.
But its a longshot that we even get that good a pick, dude. We would need Brooklyn to lose out as much as they possibly can just to have a percentage chance at the top pick. We can still get **** if our luck is bad (lord knows it has been recently) or if Brooklyn wins enough. I watch a ton of Brooklyn games and now follow their team to monitor this stuff, but I in no way believe we will get the number one pick. As I said, I am a pessimist, and its a long season. Brooklyn looks better than they did to start, but injuries and schedule will affect them.
I'm pretty down on the Celtics future though, to the point where I'm not seeing the good in front of me most of the time. Its possible Crowder, Mickey, Smart (I guess), or one of our rookies randomly becomes a star or very, very good and consistent. One thing is for sure: Durant isn't coming here. I can only pray somehow Westbrook becomes a Celtic or we make a play for Davis (the only real possibility imo) when allowed in his contract and try to build around another KG type.
Any draft tricks you'd like to share? You guys are pretty good at getting top picks
Maybe we can borrow Gilbert's son for the night if we manage to get it? That kid is good luck/mad skilled at ripping apart the fabric of percentages, haha.We haven't had a #1 pick since 1950 I believe. Rough stuff.
